This is the only line in the Brodhead letter anyone needs to see. It says it all...

We are eager for our students to be proved innocent.

We are eager for our students to be proved innocent.

Any English majors out there? Is it proved innocent or is it proven innocent??

I have come to hate the word "heal."

This sordid mess doesn't need "healing" with songs and prayers and holding hands. The mess needs to be fixed.

And with the university seeing an increase in alumni contributions, Brodhead doesn't need to give a real response. He's happy.

We are eager to have our students to be proved innocent.

Au Contraire, Brodhead.

It is the DA'a job to prove them guilty. He can't do that because they are not guilty.

Unfortunately, the boys' attorneys are having to show that they ARE innocent.
